The Prewar Morris Minor

[@thomasburke2683]

This video is very special to me as my father's first car was a 1929 Morris Minor, which he bought just before the war started. It was probably in poor condition and very much out of date at ten years old but it got him moving.

It was called the Morris 8 series E. I had one that was made in 1946. It was my first car and i paid 20 dollars for it in 1972. I was 14 years old at the time.

Interesting to see how they fitted the tyres with the inner tubes inserted onto the wheels and then fitted the whole lot onto the wheel without any tyre levers. I wonder if the rubber was more compliant back then as it is an effort to fit tyres these days, although if that task is being performed all day long the technique would soon be learned. The brake adjustment was very crude! Great to see how quick & easy the cars were constructed, thanks for sharing.

Those crossply tyres were a lot easier to install than radials.

Nothing like the frantic pace of Ford's River Rouge plant
